Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Venison steaks
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Pat the venison steaks dry with paper towels to ensure they sear properly.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Rub this mixture evenly over both sides of the venison steaks.
In another small bowl, combine the unsalted butter, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, and lemon zest. Mix well until the herbs are thoroughly incorporated into the butter.
Place the venison steaks on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (an internal temperature of 135°F for medium-rare).
Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes.
After the steaks have rested, top them with a dollop of the herbed butter while still warm. Allow the butter to melt over the steaks before serving.
Serve immediately with your choice of heart-healthy side dishes, such as a mixed green salad or roasted vegetables.
